New Delhi: Delhiites, rejoice! A welcome change has swept through the capital city, bringing a respite from the scorching heat. Western disturbances have influenced the weather, leading to a significant drop in minimum temperatures and a refreshingly cool breeze.
Cooler Days for the Next Five Days
The good news doesn’t stop there! The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a delightful trend for the next five days. Gone are the worries about sweltering afternoons. Both the maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to remain comfortable. On Wednesday, the forecast predicts a high of 35°C (95°F) and a low of 18°C (64°F).
Light Drizzle Expected
Adding to the pleasantness, there’s a chance of light drizzle in some areas of Delhi on Wednesday and Friday. This light rain will further cleanse the air and offer a much-needed break from the usual dryness. So, carry an umbrella if you’re stepping out, just in case!
Detailed Weather Forecast for the Next Few Days
Here’s a closer look at the predicted weather for the coming days:
| Day | Maximum Temperature (°C) | Minimum Temperature (°C) | Rain Prediction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | 35 | 18 | Light drizzle in some areas |
| Thursday | 34 | 19 | No rain |
| Friday | 33 | 20 | Light drizzle in some areas |

Strong Winds Predicted
The weather office has also predicted strong winds gusting up to 30-40 kilometers per hour (18-25 miles per hour) on Wednesday. So, if you’re planning outdoor activities, be prepared for slightly breezy conditions.
Significant Improvement in Air Quality
Another positive outcome of the recent weather change is a noticeable improvement in Delhi’s air quality. The Air Quality Index (AQI) on Tuesday settled at a moderate 145, a significant improvement from the ‘poor’ category it often experiences. This trend is expected to continue for the next three days, offering some much-needed relief for Delhi’s residents.
Tips for Enjoying the Cooler Weather
With the pleasant weather setting in, here are some tips to make the most of it:

- Lighten up your wardrobe: Swap those heavy clothes for breezy cottons and linens.
